FINITE DIFFERENCE MODELLING FOR HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEMSroymeister007
This report provides a practical overview of numerical solutions to the heat equation using the finite difference method (FDM). The forward time, centered space (FTCS), the backward time, centered space (BTCS), and Crank-Nicolson schemes are developed, and applied to a simple problem in1volving the one-dimensional heat equation. Complete, working Matlab and FORTRAN codes for each program are presented. The results of running the codes on finer (one-dimensional) meshes, and with smaller time steps are demonstrated. These sample calculations show that the schemes realize theoretical predictions of how their truncation errors depend on mesh spacing and time step. The Matlab codes are straightforward and allow us to see the differences in implementation between explicit method (FTCS) and implicit methods (BTCS). The codes also allow us to experiment with the stability limit of the FTCS scheme.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Objectives
• Understand the limitations of analytical solutions of
conduction problems, and the need for computation-
intensive numerical methods
• Express derivates as differences, and obtain finite
difference formulations
• Solve steady one- or two-dimensional conduction
problems numerically using the finite difference method
• Solve transient one- or two-dimensional conduction
problems using the finite difference method
3. 3
WHY NUMERICAL METHODS?
In Chapter 2, we solved various heat
conduction problems in various
geometries in a systematic but highly
mathematical manner by
(1) deriving the governing differential
equation by performing an energy
balance on a differential volume
element,
(2) expressing the boundary
conditions in the proper mathematical
form, and
(3) solving the differential equation
and applying the boundary conditions
to determine the integration
constants.
4. 4
1 Limitations
Analytical solution methods are limited to
highly simplified problems in simple
geometries.
The geometry must be such that its entire
surface can be described mathematically
in a coordinate system by setting the
variables equal to constants.
That is, it must fit into a coordinate system
perfectly with nothing sticking out or in.
Even in simple geometries, heat transfer
problems cannot be solved analytically if
the thermal conditions are not sufficiently
simple.
Analytical solutions are limited to problems
that are simple or can be simplified with
reasonable approximations.
5. 5
2 Better Modeling
When attempting to get an analytical solution
to a physical problem, there is always the
tendency to oversimplify the problem to make
the mathematical model sufficiently simple to
warrant an analytical solution.
Therefore, it is common practice to ignore any
effects that cause mathematical complications
such as nonlinearities in the differential
equation or the boundary conditions
(nonlinearities such as temperature
dependence of thermal conductivity and the
radiation boundary conditions).
A mathematical model intended for a numerical
solution is likely to represent the actual
problem better.
The numerical solution of engineering
problems has now become the norm rather
than the exception even when analytical
solutions are available.
6. 6
3 Flexibility
Engineering problems often require extensive parametric studies
to understand the influence of some variables on the solution in
order to choose the right set of variables and to answer some
“what-if” questions.
This is an iterative process that is extremely tedious and time-
consuming if done by hand.
Computers and numerical methods are ideally suited for such
calculations, and a wide range of related problems can be solved
by minor modifications in the code or input variables.
Today it is almost unthinkable to perform any significant
optimization studies in engineering without the power and flexibility
of computers and numerical methods.
7. 7
4 Complications
Some problems can be solved analytically,
but the solution procedure is so complex and
the resulting solution expressions so
complicated that it is not worth all that effort.
With the exception of steady one-dimensional
or transient lumped system problems, all heat
conduction problems result in partial
differential equations.
Solving such equations usually requires
mathematical sophistication beyond that
acquired at the undergraduate level, such as
orthogonality, eigenvalues, Fourier and
Laplace transforms, Bessel and Legendre
functions, and infinite series.
In such cases, the evaluation of the solution,
which often involves double or triple
summations of infinite series at a specified
point, is a challenge in itself.
8. 8
5 Human Nature Analytical solutions are necessary
because insight to the physical
phenomena and engineering wisdom
is gained primarily through analysis.
The “feel” that engineers develop
during the analysis of simple but
fundamental problems serves as an
invaluable tool when interpreting a
huge pile of results obtained from a
computer when solving a complex
problem.
A simple analysis by hand for a
limiting case can be used to check if
the results are in the proper range.
In this chapter, you will learn how to
formulate and solve heat transfer
problems numerically using one or
more approaches.
9. 9
FINITE DIFFERENCE FORMULATION
OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
The numerical methods for solving differential
equations are based on replacing the
differential equations by algebraic equations.
In the case of the popular finite difference
method, this is done by replacing the
derivatives by differences.
Below we demonstrate this with both first- and
second-order derivatives.
Reasonably accurate results can be
obtained by replacing differential quantities
by sufficiently small differences
AN EXAMPLE

13. 13
ONE-DIMENSIONAL STEADY HEAT
CONDUCTION
In this section we develop the finite difference
formulation of heat conduction in a plane wall
using the energy balance approach and
discuss how to solve the resulting equations.
The energy balance method is based on
subdividing the medium into a sufficient
number of volume elements and then
applying an energy balance on each element.
14. 14
This equation is applicable to each of the M
- 1 interior nodes, and its application gives
M - 1 equations for the determination of
temperatures at M + 1 nodes.
The two additional equations needed to
solve for the M + 1 unknown nodal
temperatures are obtained by applying the
energy balance on the two elements at the
boundaries (unless, of course, the
boundary temperatures are specified).
16. 16
Boundary Conditions
Boundary conditions most commonly encountered in practice are the
specified temperature, specified heat flux, convection, and radiation
boundary conditions, and here we develop the finite difference formulations
for them for the case of steady one-dimensional heat conduction in a plane
wall of thickness L as an example.
The node number at the left surface at x = 0 is 0, and at the right surface at
x = L it is M. Note that the width of the volume element for either boundary
node is ∆x/2.
Specified temperature boundary condition
17. 17
When other boundary conditions such as the specified heat flux, convection,
radiation, or combined convection and radiation conditions are specified at a
boundary, the finite difference equation for the node at that boundary is obtained
by writing an energy balance on the volume element at that boundary.
The finite difference form of various
boundary conditions at the left boundary:
20. 20
Treating Insulated Boundary Nodes as Interior Nodes:
The Mirror Image Concept
The mirror image approach can also be
used for problems that possess thermal
symmetry by replacing the plane of
symmetry by a mirror.
Alternately, we can replace the plane of
symmetry by insulation and consider only
half of the medium in the solution.
The solution in the other half of the
medium is simply the mirror image of the
solution obtained.
23. 23
The finite difference formulation of
steady heat conduction problems
usually results in a system of N
algebraic equations in N unknown
nodal temperatures that need to be
solved simultaneously.
There are numerous systematic
approaches available in the literature,
and they are broadly classified as
direct and iterative methods.
The direct methods are based on a
fixed number of well-defined steps that
result in the solution in a systematic
manner.
The iterative methods are based on an
initial guess for the solution that is
refined by iteration until a specified
convergence criterion is satisfied.
24. 24
One of the simplest iterative methods is the Gauss-Seidel iteration.
25. 25
TWO-DIMENSIONAL STEADY HEAT
CONDUCTION
Sometimes we need to consider heat transfer
in other directions as well when the variation
of temperature in other directions is
significant.
We consider the numerical formulation and
solution of two-dimensional steady heat
conduction in rectangular coordinates using
the finite difference method.
27. 27
Boundary Nodes
The region is partitioned between the
nodes by forming volume elements
around the nodes, and an energy
balance is written for each boundary
node.
An energy balance on a volume
element is
We assume, for convenience in
formulation, all heat transfer to be into the
volume element from all surfaces except
for specified heat flux, whose direction is
already specified.
31. 31
Irregular Boundaries
Many geometries encountered in practice
such as turbine blades or engine blocks do
not have simple shapes, and it is difficult to
fill such geometries having irregular
boundaries with simple volume elements.
A practical way of dealing with such
geometries is to replace the irregular
geometry by a series of simple volume
elements.
This simple approach is often satisfactory
for practical purposes, especially when the
nodes are closely spaced near the
boundary.
More sophisticated approaches are
available for handling irregular boundaries,
and they are commonly incorporated into
the commercial software packages.
32. 32
TRANSIENT HEAT CONDUCTION
The finite difference solution of transient
problems requires discretization in time in
addition to discretization in space.
This is done by selecting a suitable time step
∆t and solving for the unknown nodal
temperatures repeatedly for each ∆t until the
solution at the desired time is obtained.
In transient problems, the superscript i is used
as the index or counter of time steps, with i = 0
corresponding to the specified initial condition.
33. 33
Explicit method: If temperatures at the previous
time step i is used.
Implicit method: If temperatures at the new time
step i + 1 is used.
35. 35
The temperature of an interior node at
the new time step is simply the average
of the temperatures of its neighboring
nodes at the previous time step.
No heat generation and τ = 0.5
36. 36
Stability Criterion for Explicit Method: Limitation on ∆t
The explicit method is easy to use, but it suffers
from an undesirable feature that severely restricts its
utility: the explicit method is not unconditionally
stable, and the largest permissible value of the time
step ∆t is limited by the stability criterion.
If the time step ∆t is not sufficiently small, the
solutions obtained by the explicit method may
oscillate wildly and diverge from the actual solution.
To avoid such divergent oscillations in nodal
temperatures, the value of ∆t must be maintained
below a certain upper limit established by the
stability criterion.
Example
37. 37
The implicit method is
unconditionally stable, and thus we
can use any time step we please
with that method (of course, the
smaller the time step, the better the
accuracy of the solution).
The disadvantage of the implicit
method is that it results in a set of
equations that must be solved
simultaneously for each time step.
Both methods are used in practice.
47. 47
Interactive SS-T-CONDUCT Software
The SS-T-CONDUCT (Steady State and Transient Heat
Conduction) software was developed by Ghajar and his
co-workers and is available from the online learning
center (www.mhhe.com/cengel) to the instructors and
students.
The software is user-friendly and can be used to solve
many of the one- and two-dimensional heat conduction
problems with uniform energy generation in rectangular
geometries discussed in this chapter.
For transient problems the explicit or the implicit solution
method could be used.
